With the "289 upgrades" already in progress for the '58 President 289 (my prior topic), wouldn't this one be a reasonable application for a 1st gear start valve body for the Flightomatic?
I bought one a couple of months ago from Allen (satdoc2). My thought then was to eventually use it in the '58 Packard Hawk. I've never really minded the second gear start, but the new cam and pistons in the President tempt me to try the valve body in this one.
I've enjoyed searching out the prior discussions on this. Any reliability issues likely with only occasionally spirited driving?
